Welcome to TheraPlay - a supportive space where parents are met with compassion, understanding and practical guidance as they navigate their child’s emotional world.

I’m Caitlin Kennedy, and I’m here to support you through online parent support and guidance. I work alongside parents to better understand their child’s behaviour, emotions, and needs, and to develop confident, effective ways of responding at home.

With years of experience supporting families, I’ve seen how powerful it is when parents are equipped with the right tools, insight, and reassurance. Small changes in understanding and approach can lead to meaningful shifts in connection, emotional regulation and family wellbeing.

Your child’s growth begins with empowered support, and I’m honoured to walk this journey with you 🌻

Merry Christmas 🎄

For whatever this day looks like for you, full and loud, quiet and gentle, joyful, complicated, or somewhere in between - you are seen.

Holding space for all families, all feelings, and all versions of today. 🤍

Look for the good, not to ignore the not-so-good but because we all deserve to notice there’s so much more right with us than wrong. 🤍

Children look to us to interpret the world.

Let’s give them the tools to enjoy life when they can, even in the areas you’ve been so used to dreading.

How? Here’s a common example: traffic.
The next time you’re in traffic, instead of huffing, puffing and sighing, maybe you can turn it into a dance party, a game of eye-spy or a chance to connect in conversation. 💌

Every small shift we make MATTERS because it’s these small things that add up to make true, sustainable change.

Crying, tantrums, and big feelings aren’t misbehaviour - they’re communication. And in those moments, your connection matters most. 💛

🌱 Emotional learning starts early! Teaching toddlers and preschoolers to recognize and express their feelings builds emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-regulation that lasts a lifetime.

Connection calms the storm within 🤍

When a child feels safe and seen, their brain settles and thinking, learning, and growing can begin 🧠

Getting toddlers and preschoolers to listen can feel like an uphill battle. ✨

Child psychologist Reem Raouda reminds us that listening struggles are less about obedience and more about emotional safety. When children feel secure, respected, and heard, cooperation follows naturally. 💛

These phrases help kids feel validated, understood, and reassured that they’re not alone in their big feelings. 🌈

💡Next time things feel tough, try leading with empathy instead of control.

✨ From Picky Eater to Adventurous Foodie ✨

Mealtime doesn’t have to be a battle! 🥦🍓 With patience, play, and a little creativity, kids can learn to explore new foods in fun ways.

Small steps lead to big changes — one bite at a time! 💛

When we meet children with the same compassion we hope they’ll carry into the world, we’re not just teaching—we’re modeling. 🌱
